Topic : Reconciling Ecological Conservation and Development by adopting Sustainable Rural Development for Tribal Villages: A case of Patalkot Valley in Chhindwara District, Madhya Pradesh The Project is mainly focused upon Conservation of Forest inside the Patalkot valley which is under threat of continuous deforestation. The project deals with the present ground reality of the area, analyses the threats under the pillars of Sustainability i.e., Environment, Economy and Social factors, and provides with the solution in order to cater the day-to-day requirements of the indigenous tribes inhabited in the region. Case Area Location: Patalkot Valley Region, Tamia, Chhindwara (M.P.) Total Area Covered: 108.7 sqkm *Contains only a part of the Project

Change in LULC: There is a drastic decrease of approx. 68% is seen in the dense vegetation from 2001 to 2021. The water body i.e. Doodhi river has also shrinked by 45% The amount of open degraded forest land has increase with a significant amount The area under Agriculture and grassland has increased by 44.65% from 2001 to 2021

Data Sources
BR value of a pixel refers to status of biodiversity and potential to host biodiversity in a pixel, higher value denotes high resilience while low suggests high vulnerability. Canopy cover manifests the health of forests. Changes in canopy cover results in temperature exposed, wind speed and light penetration. Loss of canopy increases the vulnerability of forest species.
Porosity Fragmentation DI exhibits for alteration in structural and spatial attribute of forest due to both natural and Interspersion Contrast anthropogenic factors. Biotic interference
Ground Slope (steep of gradual)
Slope
Indicator Description
Landslides and soil erosion due to steep slope enhances the ‘inherent vulnerability’ of forest.
Road Density Distance from road
Forest situated along a transportation network are more prone to disturbance than the forest farther.
Settlement Density
Distance from human settlements
Forest situated in proximity with human settlements are more prone to disturbance than the forest farther.
Proximity to Natural Drainage
Distance from Drainage Streams
Forests near to waterbodies or natural streams are more vulnerable to inundation.

Proposals and Land Suitability
*Taking into consideration forest vulnerability assessment
• • • •
Zones are formed as Conservational Zones, and economic zones and development zones as per the vulnerability and potentials areas. Conservational Zone is most vulnerable to deforestation or declination hence is completely required to be restricted. Ecological economic zone 1 has the potential to be afforested with the plants used for minor forest produce collection and can also be developed for eco-tourism with minimum disturbance. Ecological economic zone 2 has the potential for agricultural and plantation-based development hence traditional agriculture and bamboo plantation is proposed in the area. Development zone is suitable for all construction based and infrastructure enhancements hence this zone can be utilized for the same. This also includes the area for the future expansion of the rural sprawl
Green India Mission in convergence with MGNREGA will ensure better coordination in developing forests and will also help providing employment to the local tribes
Agro forestry linked with Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana will help promoting and enhancing the tradition crops and traditional methods practiced by the indigenous tribes of the region

Plantation of ethno-medicinal plants will help conservation and restoration of the knowledge of tribal folk medicine the community possess.
Bamboo and broom grass plantation in convergence with skill development programme will increase the availability of raw materials for the purpose.
